Where Analog Dreams and Modern Beats Collide: The Magic of Hatsmyth’s ‘Omalaale’

Forget everything you think you know about genres, because Rajat Prakash, the artist known as Hatsmyth, is here to bend the rules. He describes his own life story in a single, genius line: “Nobita and Doremon happened in a single body.” It’s a perfect fit for an artist who’s part dreamer, part innovator, and all heart. He's on a mission to fight his insecurities with something far more powerful: music.

This journey starts not with a beat, but with a drawing. Hatsmyth believes he was born an artist, starting his creative life with a pencil and stories. Music eventually took over, consuming him during his college years. Now, he creates what he calls Experimental Pop, a genre where you can always "find the unexpected." He’s not here to follow trends; he’s here to create something “one of a kind in India.”

His latest track, “Omalaale,” from his album “Not So Hip-Hop,” is a testament to this wild, creative spirit. It’s a shot of pure nostalgia and joy, with a warm, vintage-pop sound that melts into hip-hop. The title itself is a sweet Malayalam term of endearment, a shout-out to the people who matter most. Produced by Hatsmyth with additional help from Vxal, the song is a celebration of love and self-expression.

The track’s hook, delivered by Hatsmyth himself, is a bold declaration of growth: “Omalale, while you watch me, I would have changed entirely.” The song also features Lil Payyan, who brings a youthful charm, and EKAN, who drops a message of pure defiance: “go mock the ones who mock you.” It's a fun and defiant anthem that reminds us all to be who we are.

Speaking of fun, the album, "Not So Hip-Hop," was a journey that took "a lifetime" to create. It was a process of breaking down and rebuilding, and the chaos is part of the art. Hatsmyth even used recordings of friends criticizing his music as ad-libs in the track “Kelkaam Kelkkathirikkaam,” a hilarious move that shows his commitment to artistic freedom. From home studios to professional ones, and yes, even WhatsApp recordings, Hatsmyth’s creative process is as unique as his sound.

Fans can look forward to the full album Not So Hip-Hop, set to release on November 12, 2025, which promises more experimental pop tracks that showcase Hatsmyth’s fearless blending of genres, personal stories, and inventive production.

“Omalale” isn’t just a song—it’s a celebration of love, freedom, and growth. With its warm melodies and empowering message, it’s the perfect introduction to Hatsmyth’s world, and a hint of what’s to come in Not So Hip-Hop.
